House of Falling Bones

A performance concert about the re-enchantment of the world: Hamburg pop-artists encounter the soundscapes of the South African Khoi Khonnexion music activists. Together, they traveled through Southern Africa – following the traces of the Dutch and German genocide of the OvaHerero and Nama in 1903 to collect fairytales and oral traditions. On this journey, they collaborated in creating an evening of music theater that demonstrates the power of resistance inherent to fairytales, poetry and folk tales. Stories about the ghosts of German soldiers in the Namib Desert, fairytales of liquid stones and phone calls with ancestors evoke a suppressed colonial heritage.
